Gael García Bernal (born November 30, 1978 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico) is a Mexican actor.
Gael García Bernal has starred in some of Mexico's most celebrated films. Beginning with Amores perros (2000), then 2001's Y tu mamá también, and El crimen del Padre Amaro (2002). It was his debut as the working-class street thug in Oscar-nominated Amores perros that first grabbed Hollywood's attention.
Like a Mexican Marlon Brando, García Bernal transmits vulnerability beneath a bad-boy sexuality. He started acting as a one-year-old and spent most his teen years starring in soap operas. But just as he became a soap heartthrob, at age 19, he left Mexico's television world to study acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England.
His mother, Patricia Bernal, is an actress and former model. His father, Jose Angel García, is an actor and director. Gael García Bernal speaks Spanish, Italian, French, and English. García Bernal is also a close friend of actor, Diego Luna.
